Plan B

Our month in San Cristobal De Las Casas is coming to an end and our goals for this time have mixed results.

As far as our Ecuador visas everything is going well. The FBI says we aren't criminals and now Washington state has to agree and we are pretty much done. We are calling that a success.

The goal of shipping the van to Ecuador is not so muchie. It turns out that Ecuador isn't allowing any vehicles to be shipped in now. Even the folks who own the largest supermarket chain in Ecuador can't get their cars in. That complicated the plan dramatically.

Making the best of it:  What that means for us is that we are heading to Houston to pack our belongings and ship them to Ecuador, selling the van and then getting a PCR Covid test done for each of us so we can fly down to Ecuador and spend 14 days in a hotel room of the government's choosing - and I mean a room - for the entire 14 days. That is with a health certificate showing that you are covid free.

At this point it seems like a good idea which is beyond weird, but that is life during coronatime.

Before you start thinking that we have had a sucky trip, we have been fortunate to enjoy so much beauty thus far, have had the freedom of movement we had, meet the family of travelers and the family that took us in at Mision Surf Mexico and gave us two months of safety and purpose, add up to something we would certainly do again even knowing how things would go. Our hearts have been filled by the more than 100 people who touched them along the way. I know that we will see a bunch of them again as well.

We hope that this post finds you well and not too stir crazy. We will update you all more once we get our stuff done. We might be driving you all crazy from our quarantine quarters because we will have a lot of time on our hands.

Peace and love peeps. More soon...
